May is NCBA Member Appreciation Month!

,

By Alejandra Villegas

This year, we will continue with the tradition of celebrating our members during the month of May! We have scheduled free events and workshops during the entire month to thank you for being a member. The events will include Wellness Wednesdays, Winning Wednesdays, and Free Fridays.

On Wellness Wednesdays, you will have the chance to learn from a yoga expert all the way from Montenegro who specializes in stress management, mindfulness, and habit change. This will not be your typical yoga class. Anita Steele will teach you how to work on the five layers of your well-being. With her guidance, you will learn techniques that will help you to refresh, recharge and tap into an ideal state of mental well-being.

On Winning Wednesdays, you will be eligible to win a gift basket filled with your favorite North Carolina products. To enter, retweet or share an NCBA social media post that week. One member will be selected and announced on Wednesday, May 12, and an additional winner will be selected on Wednesday, May 26. Be sure to follow us  on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram to share your posts.

Finally, on Free Fridays, join us for a Microsoft 365 workshop from the Center for Practice Management Director Catherine Sanders Reach. In this workshop, you will learn tools and tips for making the most of the complete Microsoft 365 suite. Catherine will also give one-on-one consultations on how to make your social media profiles work for you, whether you are looking for a job, seeking to engage with potential referrals or raising your profile as a thought leader.

It is our hope to make you feel appreciated this month. We value your membership, and we are thankful for you.
